"Luke is my friend," Mika says happily. She moves her chair a little closer to Luke's. "Liv and I are friends too!" shouts Noa. Tom points at Rafi. "We're friends too, right?" The teacher looks around. "How nice that everyone has a friend. But what is a friend?"

About the Author
Pauline Oud, born in 1963 in Hilversum, The Netherlands, has been working as an illustrator for over 15 years now. After her graduation from art school in 1985 she worked as an artist and art teacher for a while before applying her knowledge to her first love; children's books. Before she starts working, she likes to start her days with an hour running to clear her head and think about her drawings. She likes to collect children's books, because they give her so much inspiration. When she is out of inspiration, she also likes to visit the Museum of medieval Art to stare at the books her colleagues have illustrated some 700 years ago. She currently lives in Utrecht (the Netherlands) with her husband and her two children Roos and Walt.
